I am new to Linux and TC in particular. I have a RTL8188CUS (Obda:8176) adapter which won't work. It is listed on the Core website as compatible with TC using rtl8192cufw.bin. This is contained in firmware-rtlwifi.tcz. Although my computer appears to connect the adapter does not become operational eg Opera tells me I am not connected.

After considerable cursing and searching the forums I realised I was actually using the adapter as I had forgotten to reconnect the ethernet cable!! The adapter is working perfectly, I believe as a result of my compliance with the following advice by Juanito which I found on the TC Q & A forum.

Remove them both from oneboot.lst, reboot and load them manually to test.

There is one other possible reason for the resolution of the problem. One of the posts on the forums indicated there could be a problem or conflict caused by ethernet & wifi operating together. I not only unplugged the ethernet cable but rebooted the computer and this may have contributed to the resolution of the problem.
